Wally Wood Sketchbook Book

6 3/8 x 10 1/4 200 black-and-white illustrations North American Distribution ART TECHNIQUE Wally Wood (1927-1981) was one of the most prolific and influential figures in fantasy and science fiction illustration. This legendary cartoonist's works include ground-breaking tales for such classic comics as Haunt of Fear, Weird Science, and Weird Fantasy, as well as fan-favorite superhero work on T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents and Daredevil. When he became MAD Magazine's first star artist, he had already revolutionized comic books with the sci-fi work that put him on Entertainment Weekly's all-time best list. Wally Wood Sketchbook reveals rare, never-before-published works of this artistic genius. It spans the artist's impressive three-decade career, from his difficult boyhood in Minnesota to his stories for classic comic characters to his numerous awards and citations. An essay from comics historian James Steranko, and personal discussions with Wood's closest colleagues-as well as a rare interview with Wally Wood himself-provide fascinating insight into the life and talent of this consummate artist.
